Ok i think i figured a few things out,i downloaded both tools,the KOTOR tool,and the 2da viewer,i did'nt touch the kotor tool yet,but from what i understand,i must place the 2da file into the Override directory,but did'nt notice any changes,am i doing something wrong here?

Ah thanks for the help ok i think i figured something out with the KOTOR tool,i can extract the skins and models i think,i extracted the .mdl and .tga now its only a matter of replacing the files no?how would i do that?

My english is bad, and im head ache is killing me but i will try to tell you when i undestand your question correct

 

Example ?

U want that Mission looks like female scout with a Twilek Head?

All u need is Kotor Tool

 

With Kotor Tool u extract the

appearence.2da

head.2da

portraits.2da

first and look at them.

 

The PC Models/Figures are strange named labels in the appearence file.

 

P_Fem_*

P_Mal_* they start.

 

P --> Player

Fem = Female or Mal=Male

 

Next to this u read

sml,med,lrg sml = scoundrel med=scout lrg=soldier

 

when u follow the lines to the right u come to columns which labeld modela modelb and so on

 

modela = basemodel when u put the clothes away of the charakter

texa = the skinname to above

 

modelb/texc = basic clothing

model C and so on is increasing armor (light medium heavy and so on there are class4,5,6,7,8,9 and so the letters)

 

 

So no scroll up where P_MissionBB stands u see here also entries for modela and so on. All u need is to copy the scout (which one doenst really matter) entries for models/textures to the "Missions" entries.

But NPC don't have a "evil" texture so texevil let empty

 

 

That was the basic thing your mission's body looks a scout now with the head of the twilek Mission.

 

The portrait file and the head file is after this very selfexplaining.

 

 

hope could help a bit but im not good in explaining and than this in english
